- Specification of Letters I'atent.

Patented July 18, 1911.

Application filed September 10, 1910. Serial No. 581,365.-

Be it known that I, WINFIELD L. KING, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Pittsburg, in the county ofAllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Receptacle for CondensedMilk Cans, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to receptacles for condensed milk cans and it has for its object to provide one-in which may be disposed a condensed milk can, a lid having an opening being provided for covering the receptacle, and having a spout adapted to be disposed over the spout of the receptacle.

Other objects of the invention are to provide means'for covering the space between the periphery of the condensed milk can and the inner wall of the receptacle; and for holding the lid'in place.

Still other objects of the invention will appear in the following complete description, in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of myreceptacle; Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the receptacle; and Fig. 3 is a plan View of the receptacle partially in section.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that a receptacle 5 is provided having a handle 6 and a spout 7, inwardly extending members 8 being secured to the can, these inwardly extending members 8 havinga circular opening 9 in which the can 10 may be disposed. There are openings 11 in the inwardly extending members 8, which are provided to enable the userto readily remove the can 10. A washer 12 is normally disposed on the inwardly extending members 8, the said washer 12 extending over the periphery of the can 10.

A lid 13 is provided for closing the receptacle, this lid 13 having a flange 14 which is normally disposed below an inwardly-extending rib 15 on the receptacle 5. The lid 13 is also provided'with a pivoted tongue 16, a terminal of which is normally disposed below the inwardly extendingrib 17 of the receptacle 5. l

Normally disposed on the spout 7 of the receptacle, thereis a'spout 18, which is secured to the lid 13, this spout 18leading to an opening 19 in the lid, which is covered by parts in all the views,

a hood 20. There is also an additional opening 21 in the, lid. I

In using the invention two openings 22 are made in the condensed milk can 10, one of these openings 22 being positioned so that when the condensed milk can 10 is disposed in the receptacle, this opening 22 will be disposed immediately below theopening 19 in the lid 13. The condensed milk ,can 10 having been disposed in the receptacle 5, the washer 12 is placed on the inwardly projecting members 8 to cover the space between the inwardly projecting members 8 and the condensed milk can. This having been done, the lid '13 is placed on the washer 12 with its flange 14 disposed under the rib 15 and it is secured in place by the pivoted tongue 16 which is rotated until its terminal is disposed under the extending rib 17.
